Samsung 980 PRO SSD M2 nvme 4 1TB With HeatSink (MZ-V8P1T0CW)

The Samsung 980 PRO SSD M.2 NVMe 4.0 1TB with HeatSink (MZ-V8P1T0CW) is a high-performance solid-state drive (SSD) designed for use in modern computers that support the M.2 form factor and NVMe 4.0 interface. Here are some key features and specifications of this SSD:

1. Form Factor: M.2 2280, which means it has a length of 80mm and uses the M.2 interface for easy installation in compatible devices.
2. Interface: NVMe 4.0, which provides faster data transfer speeds compared to previous generations. It is backward compatible with NVMe 3.0, but to take full advantage of its capabilities, you need a motherboard that supports NVMe 4.0.
3. Capacity: 1TB (terabyte), which provides ample storage space for your operating system, applications, and files.
4. Sequential Read/Write Speeds: The Samsung 980 PRO offers impressive read and write speeds. It can deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 megabytes per second (MB/s) and sequential write speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s. These speeds make it suitable for demanding tasks like large file transfers, video editing, and gaming.
5. Random Read/Write Performance: It also offers excellent random read and write performance, which impacts the drive's ability to handle smaller file transfers and random access workloads. The 1TB variant can achieve up to 1,000,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) for both random reads and writes.
6. Heat Sink: The SSD comes with a built-in heat sink, which helps dissipate heat generated during intensive operations. This can help maintain optimal performance and prevent thermal throttling, especially in systems with limited airflow or high ambient temperatures.
7. Advanced Technologies: The Samsung 980 PRO incorporates various technologies to enhance reliability and endurance, such as Dynamic Thermal Guard and TRIM support. It also supports AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption to secure your data.
8. Compatibility: The Samsung 980 PRO is compatible with systems that have an M.2 slot (PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 3.0) and support NVMe. It is ideal for high-performance desktops, workstations, and gaming rigs.
